A CAPTAIN BOLD.
A Canadian Skipper Making Some Very
Dangerous Threats

A Canadian skipper Making Some Very
Dangerous Threats.
New YORK, October IA Halifax
special say: Great interest attaches to the
approaching departure from this port of
the schooner Houlette for the Alaska seal
fisheries. The Houlette for two years has
been employed as a Canadian fishery
cruiser, and it was this vessel that effected
the capture of the ProvincetOwn schooner
highland Light. Captain Grant, Nova
Scotian, who is extensively engaged in
Alaskan seal fisheries from Victoria, L. c.,
came all the way to Halifax to purchase
vessels to engage in that fishery. He says
there are l8 British Columbian vessels seal
ing in Alaskan waters and that their catch
aggregates half million dollars yearly. He
denOunces in violent language the
action of the United States Gov
ernment in capturing Canadian
vessels and alleged brutal ill-treatment of
Canadian fishermen taken prisoners,
which, he says, is rothing but realization
for the Canadians strict enforcement of her
treaty rights in the Atlantic waters. But
Capt Grant says LIE will teach the Yam
keea a lesson if any attempt is made to
capture the Houlette. He is arranging to
obtain cannon aud a complete outfit OF
small arms and ammunition, similar to
that carried by the Houlette when en-
gagged in the fishery protection service.
Capt. Grant says he is going out to take
seals on the open sea, and if any American
cutter attempts to interfere with him or
his vessel, there will be a fight. Capt.
Grant is a determined looking man, who
has already led n wild life sailing the
South Pacific and China seas. He COM
manded the clipper ship Louisa Hatch
when she was captured and burned by the
Alabama, and Grant and his crew were
placed in irons, and afterwards put ashore
and left by Capt. Zimms upon au island
near the Equator.
